"Some see you in similes:Helen's rich curves,
colors autumn has. You please them as an
opium dream pleases, or you smile like the
sun is rising-"


This is a stanza from some of the most beautiful love poems ever written, (and whose words captivated me as a child) This Is My Beloved, by Walter Benton.
I learned the words in this book from cover to cover, reciting them when ever I could, either to a women I loved or to myself in the mirror.
I WORSHIP WOMEN AND ALL THAT THEY STAND FOR.....dana
